I started visiting with Chimpz lead singer Artimus Prime online about a year ago. He's an awesome guy and so down to earth that I had no idea that these guys were about to break loose.  They've hit Rocklahoma and The Loudwire Music Festival and have made scores of fans, some who called them the "best band on the bill". They also have the honor of the video for "California" winning for 20 straight weeks on the Loudwire Battle Royale and were retired into the "Video Hall Of Fame".

The Chimpz mix up a little P.O.D., Hollywood Undead and Linkin Park and blend it into something all new. The current single "California" especially echos the vocals of Sonny Whosoever from P.O.D and just when you think things may get a little too rappy, Scary Cary lays down a screeching, smoking guitar solo.

You may have already heard The Chimpz though. There music was featured at least three times on Sons Of Anarchy, the most notably being a chase scene score with the bands song "Right To Left".  You can find out more about the band here. Or just go ahead and score the download on ITunes here.
